  39. I have a Pentium 133, and at work, a Raptor3 21164 @300 Mhz. My own 
  40. personal tests jibe with the published performance specs of the Raptors, 
  41. with the Raptor3 averaging 6-7x faster than my PC.
  42.  
  43. To follow the price/performance examination, this would place the Raptor3 
  44. at half the price of an equivalent gaggle of Pentiums. ;-)
